You have the option to create a public version of your CourseWork Course Homepage that people can see without a SUNet ID and password.

Note: If you have already created a customized homepage for your course that is accessible via “http://www.stanford.edu/class/your_class_name”, be aware that generating a public homepage via CourseWork will overwrite your customized homepage (i.e. selecting "Yes" in the Generate Public Course Homepage wizard will overwrite any Web page which exists at “/afs/ir/class/your_class_name/WWW/index.html”). Make sure you save your customized homepage under a different name (i.e., other than index.html) if you want to create a public homepage via CourseWork.

Entering information about instructors (e.g. their names, office hours, and links to their personal homepages) via Admin Course Homepage does not give the instructors access to the course Web site. Information entered here will only be displayed on your Course Homepage. You must also enter instructor names in the Admin People page which is used to set roles and grant access privileges.

Although Recent Announcements are displayed on the Course Homepage Student View, they are created via Admin Announcements, and not via Admin Course Hompage.
